All-time great comedian Harry Shearer, the man who brought us voices from The Simpsons and cucumber-hoarding bass player Derek Smalls in This Is Spinal Tap, has broken an embarrassing story about us journalists.
In his Le Show podcast, he released audio of off-camera dialogue between Donald Trump and ostensible news figures Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski of the MSNBC program Morning Joe. The tape covers breaks in a town hall segment the trio filmed in South Carolina last week.
The embarrassing part starts when Brzezinski compliments Trump on his campaign stagecraft. She comments that it was a "wow" moment when Trump invited onstage two meatheads who tossed a protester from one of his South Carolina events.
A side note: The vigorous physical expulsion of loser-protesters has become a predictable scene at Trump events. Every time I've seen it in person, it's freaked me out it's like a window into some future WWE-style dissident-beheading ritual but Mika apparently thought the video of the South Carolina incident was inspiring.

he uses Staging to bring all focus on himself. And yes,the Mila bit is so WWE and it sells Trump big time.
